    Heavenly Sword was a pretty good game, but the ratings and sales just didn't stack up enough to warrant a sequel.

She looks better as a redhead, loved to play as her but then the game annoyed me when it switched characters with that freak that climbs in trees

    Gotta love shooting an arrow one way just to have it turn a full 90 degrees and hit somebody in the head.

I actually like the real one too. The prototype feels too . . . stereotypical or average or something. The Red-Headed Nariko seemed more . . . I don't know. Battle-torn (or ready for battle instead of a beauty pageant) or something?

Yeah, the actual Nariko they used in the end looks better. And this Nariko would be really easy to make too. XD
